INTRODUCTION

SOILcoin is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency, using smart contracts and distributed applications (Dapps) run over a "global computer network" secured by blockchain technology utilizing the Dagger algorithm. This "Soil Virtual Machine" (SVM) is fueled by the digital currency called SOILcoin, which acts as the gas that runs the computational processes on the SOILcoin network, and is minted through Proof of Work mining. SOIL is also a speculative currency available to trade against Bitcoin. This network features a Turing-complete programming language upon which anyone can build, deploy and interact with smart contracts. Smart contracts are accounts which contain code functions and can collaborate with other smart contracts. Dapps can be built from contracts or interconnected suites of contracts, and can be programmed to make autonomous and automatic decisions, store data, perform computations and send SOILcoin to other accounts. The ability to create smart contracts on the SVM is becoming more and more simplified, with very flexible programming languages. Smart contracts can be used to create "tokens" that reside on the SOILcoin network which can be used to represent anything of value, from a new altcoin to a federated peg of an existing crosschain cryptocurrency; from a participation reward for participation in distributed scientific computing to shares providing dividends or voting rights within a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO); from casual gaming in-game currencies to crowdfunding pledges; from an asset-backed method of investment to an AppCoin built onto a service; to an ownership certificate representing anything imaginable. Complex Dapps can be built, leveraging a symbiotic network of smart contracts, providing services and functions to end-users, running on SOIL as their computational fuel. The SOILcoin project was conceived to provide the platform upon which we could establish a scalable framework of applications that would ultimately serve several key life-essential industries: precision agriculture, environmental science, and renewable and green energy.

SPECIFICATIONS

Algorithm
DAGGER is a "memory-hard to compute, memory-easy to verify" Scrypt alternative, based on moderately connected "directed acyclic graphs" (DAGs), created by Ethereum visionary Vitalik Buterin. Memory-hardness is important to make the PoW (Proof of Work) function generally ASIC-resistant. This produces a more democratic distribution of cryptocurrency mining, making it cost-ineffective to run Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs of the sort that have dominated Bitcoin mining over the past few years, pushing out the average cryptocurrency user in favour of large scale "mining farms" consisting of dozens (if not hundreds) of ASIC units, which leads to a centralization of mining into the hands of the few. The Dagger algorithm is designed to be resistant to that sort of mining,  making it feasible for the average user with either CPU or GPU mining to effectively take part in the mining process and blockchain verification.

COMMUNITY

No cryptocurrency can survive without an involved community. While the focus of this currency is on the end-users who essentially stem from industries without a specific connection to altcoins, we should at the same time keep our vision turned inward and maintain an informed and empowered community of users. The SOILcoin Project is envisioned as an authentic community-managed cryptocurrency, with democratically realized evolutions of the core protocol and its applications. The overall decision making on core protocol issues will be achieved through consultation with the community of users and by the people who invest in SOIL. Any community member that wants to help or work on the protocols and core development projects of SOILcoin, please feel free to join us. SOILcoin is self-funded - therefore we need donations for further development and server costs.

If you wish to help further Soilcoin's development, we would really appreciate any donations you can make

VISION

Renewable Energy

A report released by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that the ability to provide 80% of America's electricity needs by 2050, using renewable energy with  technology that is commercially available today is a reasonable proposition. European and Asian nations have embraced renewable energy as part of their strategies for energy production going forward. What is needed is a system that can dynamically meet the supply/demand balance with technologies such as "smart grids", demand forecasting, and increased operational coordination. Software applications are currently being utilized to conceptualize the collector systems, determine wind and solar penetration and perform grid interconnection studies. Other  programs are used to monitor wind turbine performance, solar panel & inverter performance, solar and wind penetration studies, and grid interconnection studies.  Smart contracts are already being designed to help monetize microgrid generation, and build community energy markets. Virtual metering and local energy trading applications are in the process of being built, and projects such as Reposit can be built onto the SOILnet, wherein one uses smart contracts to automatically buy energy during off-peak hours and sell it back when the grid is short of power. Virtually every green energy design, development and delivery application can be built, and interconnected using smart contracts as the dApps ecosystem on the SOIL virtual machine is enriched. As smart contracts can be built to be inter-communicative, bridging these technologies to collaborate with one another will be possible. Distributed generation is produced or stored by a variety of small, grid-connected devices referred to as distributed energy resources (DER) which include small hydro, biomass, solar, tidal, wind, and geothermal power. These energy technologies can benefit from inter-communicative smart contracts governing every part of renewable energy deployment from collection design, optimization and eventual grid deployment, from large scale distributors to small community run collectives.

Distributed Scientific Computing

Using the SOILcoin virtual machine will leverage the global network for advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve problems. Use of the blockchain and smart contracts to model real-world conditions, and smart-databases stored via sharding and IPFS gateways on the blockchain can solve the need for interconnected scientific assets, enabling transparent, reproducible and trans-disciplinary research. Many scientific computational fields of study can be adequately designed, performed, shared, and stored on the verifiable blockchain ledger. Everything from protein sequencing and bioinformatics, to computational archaeology, chemistry, economics, engineering, forensics, geophysics, particle physics or neurosciences can be performed on the blockchain. Results can be verified, shared and reproduced. Geographic Information System technologies can be used for everything from LiDAR mapping to agricultural strategies and forestry management.

TESTNET

Our testnet is for testing new code and meant as a playground without any impact for the mainnet. It's on early etherum homestead code level now. The testnet is using a different home folder and it's safe to use and will not interfere your mainnet installation.

linux:
git clone https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil.git
cd go-soil
git checkout testnet
make
build/gsoil account new
build/gsoil console

The very good tutorials from AndreasKrueger might help:

reserve indonesian translation sir
thank you

please tell us, for beginners, where to take the purse and how am mining.
I downloaded from an old thread.
I personally very difficult to understand.
Walllet is generated in the console, and then will not saved? I'll be just a number and password?

The demon of the old thread is no longer suitable?

im prepare for mining it..
cheeers

anyway where the marketplace? exchanger?

Another Ether

sent 1000 soils to 0x8da4fc05ca343e6a41646194e91931d9f413a40c

Old coins new announcements

So 1870156 coins already created ?

Got a couple of pm questions. Please read here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg17973106#msg17973106) first. Thanks.

In addition I got tons of questions regarding translations and bountys.
I'm happy to put in promising bountys - also for translations. That's up to the community and what's suggested. This is currently in our community reserve.

If you want bountys and translations, your altruistic help and donation is needed. What do you think is an appropriate amount of [SOIL] per translation?

http://soilcoin.xyz/
Is this your website for coin  ;D

Also you better read about 51% network attack which have destroyed KR (krypton) another ETH clone. Ethereum codebase is vulnerable to 51% attack if you can't get very high amount of mining power.

soil was listed on bittrex - at the moment we have no exchange. i've suggested soil on ccex - maybe it will be added to the voting page.
https://c-cex.com/?id=vote
I have no idea if this is a good exchange. If you want to help please suggest exchanges. Apply for admission. Bring one's connections to bear.
It would be nice if you could spent some time for doing public relations for soil.

currently you can try to buy soil here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1213614.msg17721426#msg17721426)

What is the chain size after synch ?

added OP testnet section

Could you elaborate? Why is this old coin?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg17722855#msg17722855

Any bounty available? I would like to reserve the Spanish translation.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg17973106#msg17973106

U know what. When I was six I was a cadet in a powerful military organization, and got loads of awards from one-legged lieutenant commander but at one point of time something went nuts and I was drummed out. Now Im in Indonesia looking for a sweater at an affordable price, to hide my body from strangers' jealous looks.

90 GB. Could be more if u add to that a blockchain crawler weighting well over 300 GB. Those crawlers remind me of star wars' Sand Vehicles, and there is no software on the whole earth that could mathematically predict the destination of a crawler or estimate the damage that could theoretically be done by its missiles.

not open bounty dev
old coin or new coin dev, if open bounty when open facebook campaign and twitter campaign

Hi, i'm interested to translate in italian
let me know if there is a reward for this  ;D

yes i think social network camp like facebook camp and twitter camp verry important

sarfield, would you like to organize a facebook campaign? Community send me your twitter slogans per pm or post it here please.

I am interested to set up Facebook and Twitter Campaign dev?
May I know the bounty campaign facebook and twitter

I would like to reserve Vietnamese translation. :D

nice job marty  ;)

soil.pool.sexy (http://soil.pool.sexy) running gsoil 1.3.3   ;)

Really that big  :o ,dev do you have some web or light wallet.I don't want to take so much space just for one wallet.

Don't feed the Troll. I'm not the dev - just someone who wants to help soil (auxiliary dev  :)).

At this moment:

Guys, if you want to help to revive soil I need your help. We have 9509 soil in the community account. If you want to have bounties I would really appreciate any donations you can make.

[SOIL] 0xcddb9a3bcde8885911ce8697d18981fee082094f

Do you think translations of the OP are a good way to spread soil?
How much soil for each translation?
Again, please donate otherwise we can't have any bounties.

WTS/WTB soil (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1213614.msg18043005#msg18043005)

I think you guys should just make a new blockchain and delete the old one. It won't get listed on any exchanges with this huge supply.

Or make the old coins worth 10% of new coins.

https://novaexchange.com/addcoin/

0.04 BTC for adding us to the vote list.
0.40 BTC This option will bypass voting and get direct listing.

BTC 1GKET7UpfyJQkZcviBCQfPGBXnaEJmyWnH

Please help soil listed on novaexchange. Any tiny amount of BTC will be helpful.

ReTweet: https://twitter.com/Soilcommunity/status/837677664496398336

I will support SOIL with running official mining pool and Network Stats. Server cost me some moneys and pool fee will not cover it.

abvhiael is back!
